MEDICATED VETERINARY PREMIXES

RB2RC00250DD

The Challenge

For a manufacturer of medicated veterinary ingredient premixes, we were requested to supply a compact ribbon blender for dry, dusty products that are highly delicate and heat-sensitive.

The products to be processed consist of various types of excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) used to manufacture medicated veterinary products for small domestic pets.

The unit, operated manually to accommodate frequent, small-scale production runs, is tasked with delivering highly reliable and precise premixes in terms of homogenisation.

The MC² Solution

  • Mixer model: RB2RC00250DD batch ribbon blender
  • Maximum working capacity: 400 litres
  • Material of construction: 304L stainless steel U-trough and end plates
  • 304L stainless steel rotor shaft, with air-purged seals
  • Mixing tools: 4 concentric, counter-rotating ribbon flights in 304L stainless steel
  • 1 off. bolted lid
  • 1 off. hinged side lid, with safety grid and interlock
  • 1 off. round flanged vent port
  • 1 off. flanged round discharge outlet, with flush-fit trapdoor and electropneumatic actuation, flanged to a screw conveyor installed below it
  • Finishing of parts in contact with the product: satin polishing to a Ra ≤0.8μm
  • Direct drive, directly flanged to end plate, complete with a 4 kW electric motor
  • 304L stainless steel mixer supporting frame on castors
  • Pneumatic panel in 304L stainless steel for the distribution of compressed air to all air-driven appliances

Key Benefits

  • Gentle, constant and slow mixing action, ideal for fragile ant heat-sensitive materials
  • Excellent homogenisation of all ingredients
  • Low installed power, low energy consumption
  • Compact layout, minimum footprint
  • Quick and easy cleaning operations, thanks to the low roughness internal surfaces and the food-grade/pharma configuration
  • Outstanding return on investment
